Your Christmas or Mine 2 – Coming December 2023

The news is in and we have ALL been good! Our early Christmas gift is that Your Christmas or Mine 2 will be on Prime Video worldwide THIS Christmas season! After the fantastic premiere in December 2022 we are so excited to have the sequel so soon!

Daniel Mays has been filming the sequel in between his turns on the Guys & Dolls stage:

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – but will it be for James and Hayley? James’ father has invited the Taylors to spend Christmas in a luxury ski resort in the Austrian Alps so they can meet his new American girlfriend (played by Jane Krakowski). However, Hayley’s dad Geoff insisted on handling his family’s side of the booking, and something got lost in translation. After a mix-up with transport at the airport, the two tribes end up at each other’s accommodations on different sides of a valley and opposite ends of the Tripadvisor rating scale. Can Hayley and James’ relationship survive another turbulent family Christmas, or has their future together gone off-piste?

Your Christmas or Mine 2 will debut on Prime Video this December 2023 and will see some returning faces from the first film, as well as new additions.

Jane Krakowski (30 Rock) has joined the cast for the sequel as James’s father’s new girlfriend, while those reprising their roles from the first film include Alex Jennings (The Crown), Daniel Mays (Line of Duty), David Bradley (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2), Angela Griffin (White Lines) and Natalie Gumede (Titans).
